    shut the fuck up and go to work

    That really is all it boils down to for most of the world. Even to people who think they care about you, they don’t really want to know “how’s it going” unless the answer is “good’n’you?”

    Just stop being so sad it’s all in your head Just get up and go to work/school/that thing, I don’t know why that’s so hard Other people have it worse

    Sit down, do what you’re told and be a good little drone and maybe after 50 years you might be allowed to sit in a small room where no one visits you until you die.

      Psychedelics also foster creativity and imagination, which trauma inhibits. The greater the trauma (say, from climate change, genocide, mass shootings, etc), the less one’s ability to imagine a better world, and thus the less one’s ability to create it.

      This is why the Republican strategy seems to just be “random terror and cruelty” and why the revolutionary period of the 60’s and 70’s were the direct result of the creation of LSD.
